Nh. EDIToR:-I have received several let
tiers from acquaintance in Illinois and Iowa,
asking me to tell them the facts in regard to
the Indestructable Fuel Cartridge, which is
being introduced by the Coupon Introduction
Company, No. IL Cortlandt street, New York.
have carefully examined the cartridge, and
know it's composition; and hence, can truly
say that it is practically indestructable, and
cannot explode. The outside cylinder, of iron
wire, holds in place mass of indestructable
composition, which absorbs pint of coal oil
(kerosene), which is, of course, the fuel.
The mineral composition is non-fusible, and
hence will last for an indefinite period.
When ignited, the external flame or heat
draws the oil to the surface, and combustion
is perfect. By actual experiment, find that
a tea kettle with half gallon of water in
it, can be boiled in less time than it takes
over coal fire. The heat is intense, and
the flame being carried by the draught well
back and Up against the top of the stove or
range, the process of boiling or cooking is
most speedily accomplished It is no exag-
geration to say that an ordinary meal can be
cooked for one cent. I consider this cart
ridge a real blessing to housewives land
especially in hot weather), and one ought to
be found in every one of our prairie homes
especially. Those who have read my books
on steam and electricity, will not need to be
told that am gratifed to write this as I do,
and certainly would not recommend an
article that would be at all dangerous.

Charmed by a Snake.

While walking along the railroad,
from q rustling in the bushes my at
tention was directed to the spot, when
to my surprise I saw large snake run
ming along rapidly, and just behind
was full-grown rabbit following the
snake. apparently without fear. The
rabbit would stop until the snake
would get five or six feet in advance
and would then move up by the side of
the snake and stop. The snake was
moving in the direction of where I was
standing, and when within about six
feet the snake discovered me and stop
ped. The rabbit ran on immediately
In front of the snake without taking
notice of my presence, and then stop
ped. The snake placed himself in q
striking position, and both renamed
quiet for time. Finally as I drew my
stick to hit the rabbit, it discovered
me and ran of. The rabbit looked
upon me as an enemy, or friend and
deliverer. or perhaps its instinct taught
it that the snake was its destl over and
was SO charmed that it could not resist
the magnetic influence until there was
y mediator at hand; or perhaps its in
stict taught it that the king snake was
the destroyer OF other snakes that fed
upon birds. rabbits, etc., and looked
upon the king snake Ms protector

How Rich Some Englishmen Are.

One fact revealed by Mr.. Goschen is
very interesting. There were, he stated
ninety-five persons in England
with an income over $4,000. It is al
most impossible for ordinary people to
understand what that income means It
is thousand week, it is more than
9140 day; it is as nearly as possible
96 an hour. A man with more than
ESQ, 900 year can spend ten-pound
note whenever the clock strikes during
what may be called his working hours,
and he will only be living up to his in
come. He is rich not only beyond the
dreams of avarice, but rich beyond
what one would imagine would be per-
sonal convenience. The fact that there
are nearly one hundred such persons
in England is of the greatest interest.
One would like to have Mr.. GoschenIs
list of them; or, better still, to appoint
a royal commission to investigate the
use which they make of their money

Ransas Produces Nothing But wonders

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
Just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
element about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. 1t
is said to be the only inland salt lake In the
United States except the one In Utah, and Is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one OF
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven in number and each diff
ferent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within space of thirty feet square.
complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tofore to be mcurable, and notably one OF
them being Addison's disease, for which, it
is said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. y.
H. s. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, In the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists In this country, to make critical guam
titative analysis In order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount OF It,
contained in these mineral waters, and a.
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
In the Union, and It now looks as If Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten IN the excitement over this new Kan
sas wonder.

The cradle was made for dear Little
baby who lived Just hundred years
ago, on farm near ours It was made
of the bark of hemlock tree, with
half-circles of bass wood neatly fitted
for ends, with two blocks of wood
fastened on either side near the head
and foot to keep the cradle from rock
ing over.
@Huldah needs cradle" the baby's
mother said one morning; and the baby's
father took his AK and went into the
woods that grew close to their log
house. and, cutting halfway round In
two places and the length of cradle
apart-the thick bark of round
trunked hemlock, he slit the bark from
corner to corner of these cuts, and then
peeled from the trunk great rounded
trough of hem1ock bark.
When it had been dried, and its
rough outside bark nicely smoothed, its
ends fitted with head and foot boards.
and knobs put on 80 it could not tip q
somersault when being rocked, soft
pillows and little baby Huldah were
put into this fragrant, coy, easy
swinging cradle, which the busy mother
softly stirred when the whir of her reel
and the buzz of her fax-wheel threat
ened to wake baby before her nap was
out.
One day, when she was busy Keeling
her linen threads, with baby soundly
asleep in her little bark house. she
heard big scratch on the door-sill,
and, looking up, she saw in the door
way, with his greasy fore-paws reach
ing up on the kitchen floor, big black
bear. Huldah's mother did not wait
that time till the snap of her whirling
reektold forty threads; but, catching
baby in her arms, she few up the rungs
of the ladder that led to the loft over
her kitchen, and when there quickly
drew the ladder after her.
But old Bruin did not venture into
the house. Perhaps he dared not; for
a bright fire was burning on the hearth,
and the light cradle still rocked and
swayed before it, which he might have
thought was some cunning trap set to
snare his big black feet. He shifted
and growled, and then turned in his
tracks and trotted off into the woods.
When he had gone, Huldah's mother
lowered the ladder and came back into
her kitchen; but she shut the outer
door before she again set stirring her
wheel and cradle. -Babuhood.
